Can anyone really argue that we aren't a jump shooting team? I am willing to listen and see stats and whatnot. It isn't whining it is just making a point this is Portland and what we do.
Atlanta is getting away with playing pressure defense. But Nate elects to stay in the zone despite the fact that Atlanta is getting hot. Why not try some pressure? Why not try something new?
As was already said, we do lead the lead in alley-oop baskets.. but since you aren't seeing them right now it must not be true.
Que the excuses. they're tired. it's a long season. they're still working in a healthy Camby and Roy, and Wallace still has to get to know the team.
Teague is having himself a night vs us. Getting whatever he wants and working both sides of the court.
It was reported that we celebrated in the locker room like we won the NCAA tourney after beating the Heat.
I understand we lead the league, we do get plenty of all-oops. We also take plenty of jumpshots and that is the reason we go on so many cold spells. If our jump shots drop, we are usually in the game, if not, good night nurse.
I'm annoyd that its ALL we play. Zone zone zone zone zone. Its not like we don't know how to actually play defense with a supposedly amazing defensive team so we just play zone
